must的反意疑问句
如果陈述部分含有表推测的情态动词must,其反问部分不能用情态动词,
应根据具体情况而定.
A.must表示“应该”,其疑问部分用mustn't(不应该),如:
You must work hard next term,mustn't you
下学期你应该努力学习,对吗?
B.must表示“必须”,其疑问部分用needn't(不必),如:
We must go at once,needn't we?
我们必须立刻走,是吗?
C.must表示推测,其疑问部分必须与must 后面的主要动词相呼应.如:
1)对现在动作或存在的情况的推测:
You must know the answer to the exercise,don't you?
你一定知道这项练习的答案,是不是?
That must be your bed,isn't it?那一定是你的床,是吗?
2)对过去发生的动作或存在的情况的推测:
①表示肯定
You must have left your bag in the theatre,haven't you?
你一定是把包落在剧场了,是不是?
Aunt Liu must have got to the U.S.A.yesterday,didn't she?
刘大婶昨天准是到了美国了,对不?
②表示否定
表示推测时,否定式通常不是must not,而是can't (cannot).如:
He can't have been to your home; he doesn't know your address,does he?
他不可能去过你家;他不知道你的地址,是不是?
D.陈述部分含情态动词mustn't,表示禁止时,附加疑问部分就可以用must或may,如:
We mustn't be late,must we?(may we?)
我们不可以迟到,是吗?
need
带情态动词need的反意疑问句,疑问部分常用 need +主语.
We need not do it again,need we
当 need 为实义动词时,疑问部分用助动词do + 主语.
